noteholders

Promissory note bearers

Noteholders are people or institutions that own promissory notes—written promises to repay a debt.

The term appears most often in finance and legal contexts, where noteholders have claims against borrowers: The company's noteholders agreed to restructure the debt.

Unlike stockholders, who own equity, noteholders are creditors awaiting repayment with interest.
